maybe this is a stupid question, but is it possible that the big bang simply had some kind of clockwise angular momentum to it? how different is that idea from the black hole cosmology concept? I don't really understand how the two fit together
- Reubachi 2y agoI don't believe the current consensus is that motion from big bang imparted a spin on objects. Rather, that dark matter (mass) was "dropped" all over as a result of the bang, making gravitational hot spots. Millions of years of dark energy progression affects those hotspots, making a sort of ever expanding (yet perceptively slowing down) sink drain with water pouring into it.
- ziofill 2y agoIt’s different because it’s simpler to assume that the total angular momentum of the universe is zero. If one black hole is rotating one way there must be other stuff rotating the other way to counterbalance. If you assume instead that the whole universe has angular momentum, well, where did that come from?
- rdtsc 2y ago> If you assume instead that the whole universe has angular momentum, well, where did that come from Would that be same kind of question as “where did the Big Bang come from?”. That’s a lot of energy that came from somewhere as well seemingly for no good reason. I also wondered immediately about dark matter; could it be that’s where the counter-balance of momentum went? Like most galaxies spin one way and most dark matter would then have to spin the opposite way. I am not a physicist so this is all random guessing of course.
- RandomBacon 2y ago> That’s a lot of energy that came from somewhere as well seemingly for no good reason. I never finished the book, but this reminds me of God's Debris by Scott Adams which explores a philosophy of pandeism (where God annihilated itself and became the universe).
- exe34 2y agoSome say god is light. maybe it was a high energy photon that met its antiphoton.
- platz 2y agoWhere did the the values of the coupling constants between the various fields come from? There are many parameters that do not have a reason for their value.
- weberer 2y ago>If you assume instead that the whole universe has angular momentum, well, where did that come from? You can say the exact same thing about mass. Obviously it came from somewhere. And it could have taken angular momentum with it.
- paulrouget 2y agoIt split. The counter part is antimatter. And there’s more matter than antimatter. So it’s a similar question. Where does this asymmetry come from.
